Disabling disk caching
This is a discussion about Disabling disk caching in the Nvidia General Topics category; The nVidia system drivers seem to enable disk caching to speed up reading files. Unfortunately, they don't do a very good job of this- If you CRC32 a 2GiB file, it will try to cache the entire file in memory, pushing everything else possible into swap.

Anyone know how to disable this annoying "feature"?

are you really really sure that this is disk caching .... you may better change the CRC tool ...

ya i am. i wrote my own crc prog in C to make sure...
this also happens in the python bittorrent clients when they hash large files.
hmmm this may be a problem of ya PC/driver config ... in my eyes caching is mucht to less these days ...
you may try to reinstall windows and try again without any drivers installed ... ya can do a backup before to restore original if it does not work ... I am pretty sure its a softwareproblem that mustn't be ... I never had any trouble with disk cache ... if tool use full memory it was always a bug ...

I really doubt that's the file caching, unless you have some really screwy drivers installed there. AFAIK the file cache is limited to a size a lot smaller than current ram.
AFAIK - what is this?
I have seen it posted a few times but have no idea what it means.
